This is the issue we've tried to overcome, or barring that, ignore. So far, we're not doing very well at either level. But history will do a perfect job, 75 to 100 years from now … not that we should care all that much. This feels like a pivotal moment, but totally without direction.
We know what needs to be done, but how? Being an issue warrior tends to generate more backlash than converts. Being passive just allows the current ills to continue. Somewhere in the middle, or somewhere else entirely, there is a solution that escapes me.
Being single-issue warriors tends to isolate liberals from each other. The solution is for liberals to embrace all the liberal issues and not just one or some. Only a broad alliance can win. And accentuate the positive as much as possible, instead of making enemies in your own larger alliance. We are stronger together, as Hillary said. Can we do this? Remains to be seen.
